Week 4 - Hawk
by Breezanemom

Casselberry, FL

Our friendly neighborhood hawk was out on the light pole in front of our house yesterday, so I thought I'd see if he would sit still long enough for a couple of photos.
He didn't seem bothered by my presence, but was instead watching a squirrel behind me.
Unfortunately, the day was gray and overcast, with almost no sunshine, so the background isn't the nicest - the color you see has been the color of the sky for 3 days now.
I'm looking forward to some sunshine - after all, this is Florida, the "Sunshine State"!

Grey and overcast is difficult lighting for wildlife photography. He sure was close!!!

He really does have his eye on the squirrel! He looks so fluffy. Well done.

Nicely shot, Lisa. I love how he has his chin tucked in and is looking right towards you.
